The class entering Bronx Community College in September 1980 is described in this report in terms of high school averages (general, English, and mathematics); placement into remedial or pre-college level English, reading, and mathematics courses; and subsequent enrollment in these courses. The data, compared on a series of tables with findings from similar studies conducted annually since 1972, indicate that while 62% of the entering students were placed in remedial English or reading courses, 70% of the students actually enrolled in the courses. Conversely, while 71% of the students were placed in remedial mathematics courses, only 55% of the students actually enrolled in the classes. Of the 1,283 known high school averages, 31% fell below .70 and 14% fell below .65. Since the discontinuation of open admissions policies and the implementation of progress standards in 1976-77, the proportion of severely underprepared students (those with a high school average below .70) declined significantly in English and general academic achievement, but not in the areas of mathematics and foreign languages. The number of students taking college-level courses, rather than required remedial courses, increased steadily from 1977 to 1980. Each of the data tables contained in the study report provide a breakdown by 14 curricular areas. (JP)
